Why is he ‘ acting like a spoilt brat ‘ ? if you don’t like the way the business your involved in is being run then why not walk away ? He obviously knows the full picture of what’s being proposed and wants nothing to do with it and has every right to walk away from it. I think that the fact that someone as successful as Louis is walking away tells us the death bells are ringing for the premiership , if not the sport , and that it needs a revolution from within or you won’t have long left to vent your rants at.

Doesn’t mean he’ll actually get to ride for them.

Doubling up ( and trebling up ) has made the sport ridiculous and caused nothing but problems , not only for public credibility but now we advocate more of it. Clubs cant even sort a fixture list out in a nine club league !
-
Thus making the two , supposedly different leagues, exactly the same ! Whilst I’m all for trying to find ways of getting lads rides let’s try to have some credibility in the sport.

No. But Buxton want in.

more chance of Buxton hosting a Grand Prix .

Try 6 grand for Premiership, 3 grand for championship which they did NOT receive as it’s deducted from the fees owed to the BSPA to be allowed to function. -

Interesting interpretation, as those riders have already ‘signed’ for clubs so what gives the ex premiership teams priority over the club that’s signed them ? i.e. If Sheffield actually get saved and end up in one big league then surely Scunthorpe have first call on Pickering ? Mulford has already signed for Redcar ( rumoured ) and the Bears still own Jenkins ( don’t they? ) so , yet again, it’s all a big sloppy mess. -
So you haven’t got an answer then, and your answer is nonsensical . I have actually been to the show and very good it was but I can fully understand why the majority of clubs don’t officially attend as it makes no commercial sense. Why would they attend ?…..come on, your the one demanding they attend , why ?
-
But that’s the EXACT location , she couldn’t be more helpful!
-
Why would clubs, particularly non local clubs want a stall in November at a show no where near their stadiums? They haven’t even had an AGM yet so don’t even know what they would be trying to promote next season ! Pehaps more local clubs might try and attract attention but the only people going to this show are Speedway fans already so nothing to be gained unless your selling off last seasons left overs.

Only 6 in the NDL, which is what I was referring too. The ‘Trophy’ set up is a nonsense in my opinion but it does give them extra rides as we can’t seem to run the ‘opportunities ’ that the BSPL promised.
-
Can Bates still be a Director when he's no longer a Promoter of a club ?
-
Oh but it is, and “ several clubs “ is more than there is in the league.
-
Only ONE NDL club paid its riders the ‘standard’ rate and even they paid more to their ‘stars’, whilst other clubs paid treble the approved rate. Even the ‘Trophy’ sides paid more and I know this through riders I assist.
-
Are you insinuating that Trigger was one of those ? As I can confirm he certainly was not . Whilst I am more than aware of some of these high ‘demands’ only a foolish promoter would give in to them.
-
Then that has to be the must stupid idea the sport has come up with since ‘doubling up’.
-
Yet Redcar are set to announce their whole team at their Christmas party so the rules must already have been agreed , surely ? They have already stated they were forced by the new rules to release King.
